first thing:buy more penn object and check out cereality in my pajamas and slippers
with all the free time, i'll probably grin and be obnoxiously happy for a week, and then start looking for scholarships
OR: sorta big dorm room or dorm that's close to other dorms? i was looking up where we'll be staying and we're sorta isolated from all the other dorms.</p>

<p>oh my goodness</p>

<p>sorry im actually not huntsman or related in any way to this thread, but i know someone at huntsman right now named lingling. she got in last year. must be a common name</p>

8

<p>haha hey! i met lingling i think! =)</p>

<p>(yeayea still hanging around)</p>

9

<p>Lol..I think I know which Lingling you're talking about also. Small world..</p>

<p>In any case, new to CC. Recc'ed by friend, who said there were a lot of Huntsman acceptees here, and she wasn't wrong!</p>

<ul>
<li>Han </li>
<li>French </li>
<li>Tucson, AZ </li>
<li>Loves, oh so many. Lessee now... grey eyes (anyone have grey eyes?), madagascar, metaphysics, rain, writing, fountain-hopping, being unproductive, sleep, TS Eliot, etc...</li>
<li>"Garden State" and "Six Degrees of Separation" (Go see it!!), anything musical aside from country and jazz, etc etc., no fav. books
+Mmm...unfortunately, grades. Gotta killer math class, but after this semester, gonna go do all the stuff I didn't have time to do before (I will not have lived if I don't burn incense in a theater and go fountainhopping in Nogales, dammit)
+No idea. What's this 'Cereality' everyone's talking about?</li>
<li>Giant Sloths or Lemurs? Giant Sloths all the way.<br></li>
</ul>

<p>BTW: Catch, Infernal Affairs were by far the best movies HK has made recently. Much Tony love :) <em>issosuperficial</em></p>

<p>Ending on a useful note: I am indeed a girl.</p>

10

<p>OMG! YOu are in Tucson?!?!?! Holy! They have other AZ kids applying and they still took me! It's a miracle! lol. I love Penn! </p>

<p>Infernal AFfairs rocked: I, II, and III. I liked III the most. </p>

<p>Cereality is a 100% cereal restaurant that they just opened on Penn campus. Sugar rush! WOOHOO!</p>

11

<p>han, cereality was an obsession of ours a way back on cc. haha its like a fast food place but its all cereal?! make your own?!! awesomeness.</p>

12

<p>Isn't Lingling a panda?</p>

13

<p>it's also the name of the pikachulikething on that awesome cartoon Drawn Together.</p>

<p>Princess Clara kinda looks like shorty ... kinda... (that's a rip)</p>

14

<p>hey, don't make fun of lingling, it's not even my real name. it's a nickname that only a few people call me by, but i was hoping to give it a go. b/c at least, people can look at it and be able to pronounce it, right?</p>

15

<p>true. lingling is a panda at the national zoo though i think. either that or it's the name of the panda in the simpsons that raped homer</p>

16

<p>pandy... i love that cartoon! alas, i have no cable due to cheap asian parents and must only see episodes when i steal friends tvs or on the internet.</p>

17
